Architects often rely on three primary materials for office buildings: steel, glass, and reinforced concrete.
A new tower in Newark, New Jersey will defy that standard. It will instead be made of wood.
Designed by Michael Green Architecture, the 500,000-square-foot structure will be the largest wooden tower in the United States. (Though, this type of building has only recently become more popular among American architects and developers.) It will also serve as the centerpiece for Riverfront Square, a huge mixed-use development that will replace the Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium as well as the old Lincoln Motel.
Here's what the new tower will look like:
